The supreme leader stressed that any direct or indirect aggression against Iran by Israel or its allies would be met with a forceful and “crushing response.”

Khamenei’s remarks, delivered during a televised speech, condemned the recent Israeli airstrikes and emphasized Iran’s commitment to defend its allies and strategic interests.
“This region is united in its support for the Palestinian people and will not stand by idly if these unjust actions continue,” Khamenei stated, pointing to Israel’s continued offensive in Gaza and the US' vocal support for Israeli operations.
He also suggested that Washington’s unwavering support emboldens Israel and escalates regional unrest.
Iran’s support for various armed groups across the region, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and several factions within Palestine, positions it as a critical player in the ongoing Middle East dynamics. Some analysts vie Khamenei’s statements as a strategic warning aimed at preventing further escalation.
Additionally, Iran’s top officials have repeatedly voiced their opposition to what they term “Zionist oppression,” with calls for Muslim-majority countries to unite against Israeli actions. Khamenei’s warning underscores the potential for broader regional conflict, especially if retaliatory actions from Iran’s allies escalate in response to the Gaza crisis.
With Washington recently increasing its military presence in the Middle East, including the deployment of naval vessels and missile defense systems, the tension between Iran and the US continues to simmer.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration has affirmed its commitment to protecting Israel.
